2 nebulas from my backyard
trying again since the photos didnt attach the last time 
this is the tadpole and flaming star nebulas. the flaming star is on the lower left and is named for a massive star embedded in it that lights it up. the star is actually one that was ejected from th eorion nebual a couple million years ago.
the tadpole on the upper right is named due to a coupl eof tadpole looking structures in it.
Ths is 17 hours of exposure time over a couple nights in my backyard
